§. 32. M. S. Else the Law should be laid by, and life given without it.
An. The root of all your Error is, That God giveth us life by the Law of Innocency or Works, and that we are justified by that Law• which is not true. God laid none of it by; but man by sin made the promissory part (which gave life on condition of perfect Obedience and Innocency) to be impossible, or null: It ceased cessante capacitate subditorum, by mans mutation, and not by Gods: But the preceptive part remaineth still, as far as it reacheth materially the state of Sinners. But man having made it impossible to be justified by the deeds of the Law, God made us a new Law or Covenant, according to which he judgeth Sinners, and by which he first giveth Righteousness, and then according to it sentenceth men as Righteous.
§. 33. M. S. Justification of the Posterity of Adam should have been the same for substance as of Believers by Christ. Adam's one Act should have confirmed all his Posterity in him as a public Person: The Covenant of Works and of Grace agree in justifying by imputed Righteousness: but out of a Head by Generation, the other by a divine Person.]
